hi, i've reviving a 6 year old VC6.0 project and i've got it to compiler fine in VS2010 BUT it keeps complaining it can't find the old help compiler

i know the help system has changed and plan to replace the old help system with an online thing anyhow so i simply want to remove all references to help from my project but i just can't seem to find where that lives?

does anyone know how to do it?

thanks

Solution 1

How big is this project? How much of the build configuration differs from defaults?

Unless the time would be prohibitive, I'd be tempted to start with a new solution in VS2010 and add the VB source files to it so that you get a nice clean project rather than spending time figuring out how to reconfigure the old project.

its about 15 source files, but that's not a bad idea, just start a new project and add the sources back in until it links. thanks for the idea.
